Quotes by the American writer Dorothy Parker. "If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to." "I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host." "The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue." "Tell him I was too fu*king busy-- or vice versa." "It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one ba**ard." "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." |
